A suspicious death in a game processing meat locker is just the beginning of bizarre events happening in the Upper Michigan village of Moose Willow. It all starts when a mysterious woman appears at the Methodist church during choir practice. Janese Trout and her best friend, State Trooper Bertie Vaara, team up to connect the woman to a growing number of disturbing occurrences around town including the disappearance of Janese's eccentric lover, George LeFleur, and an undeniable increase in Bigfoot sightings. Meanwhile, Janese faces a multitude of personal challenges as she grapples with a sagging career at the Copper County Community College, an elusive pregnancy test, and a controlling mother who inserts herself into every hiding place of Janese's life. "'Moose Willow Mystery, by Terri Martin, lets cozy mystery fans know they are about to experience something wildly different with edgy characters, a big dose of humor, and an insider's look at America's best-kept secret the mysterious Upper Peninsula of Michigan." -- Carolyn Howard-Johnson, award-winning writer of fiction, poetry, and the HowToDoItFrugally Series of books for writers "Martin describes life in a small town by using humor, and moody, compassionate and restless characters. Characters searching for the answers to life while trying to maintain a semblance of normalcy. Strange occurrences lead the sleuths down a path of discovery. Janese, forced to face her fears, manages to find true happiness. If you are looking for a book that is hard to put down, Moose Willow Mystery is that kind of book. It's entertaining, a fun read and definitely a page-turner." -- Sharon Brunner, U.P. Book Review "Terri Martin manages to present the ordinary, the bizarre (of which there is a steady stream), and even the violent in a way that will open a hilarious glimpse into the world of a small town. With brilliant characterization, she takes the reader on a wild ride of murder and mayhem, so let me warn you. Don't start reading until you have the time to keep going. -- Bob Rich, PhD, author of Sleeper, Awake!" Take a mini-vacation and read this delightful mystery! Laugh away the problems of the world (and cry a few times) along with the remarkable, talented characters in Moose Willow Mystery. A refreshing whodunit with plenty of mystery to keep the reader unable to put the book down." -- Carolyn Wilhelm, M.A., Midwest Book Review ¿"A plug for the book on the back cover calling it a 'cozy mystery' almost turned me off before I opened it. The book made me laugh and chuckle much too often to make this reader feel snug and comfortable. What makes this novel work is Janese's sense of the ridiculous, and her wonderful sense of humor. I also found the start and stop of the narrative amusing as she's constantly getting side-tracked by unexpected problems, ideas, and ruminations over anything that might pop into her head. More than once while reading I wanted to shout, 'Focus Janese, focus!' This is a woman wondering if she's with child, buys an at-home pregnancy test that takes minutes to use but can't complete the test because she is so easily distracted. You have of course noted that I've given full credit for the book's success to Janese, a fictional character and not the author. That is the mark of a good writer." -- Tom Powers, Michigan in Books Learn more at www.TerriLynnMartin.com
